Why this site matters

Almost everything here comes from public sources: Wikipedia and Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, open municipal data and Google Maps. A fair question follows: why does this site exist if it “merely” gathers data that is already public?

Public ≠ accessible

The data is public, but scattered: a Wikipedia article here, a municipal open-data table there, ratings on Google, photos on Commons. To plan an afternoon you would have to search a dozen places, cross-reference them and translate technical formats. This site does that work once — and for everyone.

What we add

• Curation: scattered facts become one clear, consistent entry per place — with a short overview and themed sections.
• Findability: categories, tags, full-text search, a map and “by popularity” sorting — instead of raw lists.
• Quality control: every image is checked, unsuitable photos are filtered out, the best one becomes the cover; authors and licences are always credited.
• Bilingual & mobile-friendly: every entry in German and English, fast and readable on the phone.
• Free, ad-free, privacy-friendly: no paywall, no tracking cookies (the Matomo analytics run cookieless), no data sold.
• Always fresh: a nightly process keeps texts, ratings and photos up to date.

In short

Open data is the raw material — the value lies in turning it into something genuinely useful: complete, sorted, verified and pleasant to use. That is exactly what this site does, with sources always linked so you can verify everything yourself.
